I’m happy with my job. It’s a government job, and doesn’t pay as much as I would in the private sector; but I love what I do and where I do it.
Somebody here (who works for a different branch of the government) brought two new positions to my attention. One is similar to what I do now and only pays a little bit more; and when gas is added it might not be worth it.
The other deals more heavily with programming and pays substantially more than I get paid now. I don’t know that it would get back that I applied. I just hate to leave a job quickly and I’ve only been here about 4 months.
Does it ever hurt to apply?
